Sorry for such embarrassing questions...
But when I ride on airplanes- I notice some airplanes make some crazy sounds!
And its totally different from plane to plane- even if they\'re the same make and model.
I\'ve also taken into consideration that I generally am sitting in the same area, too.
I\'ve always wanted to know WHAT is causing some of these sounds.
So, my questions are:
1:
Why do these airplanes make such funny sounds sometimes?
2:
Specifically- what is causing the sound that appears to come from the wings, when taxing to runway/gate. It sounds as if something was trying to extend, and it\'s as far as it could go, and it just keeps cycling- with a screech-like metal sound.
2:
What is causing that repetitious CLUNKING sound that happens beneath the airplane, sometimes, when taxing?
I\'ve noticed it a few times now, and always felt like- when we went flying down the runway it would increase in repetition. But it disappears completely as we fly down the runway! So it\'s obviously not anything to deal with the actual tire system, as it SOUNDS like where it\'s coming from.
3:
Why do some airplanes drive smooth and have no clunks sounds, or screech sounds ever!
Thanks!
